Workshop report: Open Access and the REF

Please find below our report on the second End-to-End workshop which took place in London on Monday 12th January. The workshop focused on metadata issues, particularly with a view to preparing for the next REF.

The workshop aimed to help promote working together across discipline and organisational divides as an Open Access community to raise and address issues associated with management of Open Access (OA) for the REF.

We talked about evolving experience of OA, and momentum building for the next REF, and continued discussions of a standard metadata profile for OA and workflows for supporting OA with key stakeholders.
